She stars as a young Queen Victoria, but the brunette appeared to be filming one of the monarch’s rare days off – slipping into a bathing suit and paddling in the shallows.

Plunging deep into the shallows, the British beauty proved unfazed by its cold temperatures as she filmed a number of playful scenes, before returning to a mobile beach hut to change.

With revolutions on the continent and the Chartist movement reaching its peak in London, Victoria is under pressure from the government to leave London for her own safety.

Creator Daisy Goodwin said: ‘Victoria and Albert are the most famous couple of the nineteenth century, but underneath the united facade, their relationship is at breaking point and it is a struggle for mastery that neither side can win.’

Praised for its opulent production values, Victoria is one of ITV’s most successful dramas, with the first series being the highest rating drama of 2016 on the channel.

The second series continued to prove immensely popular, attracting a consolidated average of 6.4 million viewers.

Exciting: Victoria was confirmed for a third series earlier this year, and is expected to air in 2019
